S.Africa: Former Army sharpshooter kills robber wounds two

[Yippee!!! The ANC doesn't like people shooting back and killing their favourite "voters" like this Afrikaans man did - so they are quietly disarming us all so that scum like this can rob at will. Well, this Afrikaans guy who shot these bastards is my hero!! Jan]

Pretoria - A former army sharpshooter shot and killed a robber, after seriously wounding two others and getting R4 000 back that had been stolen from him only minutes before.

Franz Jooste of Akasia in the north of Pretoria said: "I shouted at him, 'Where is my money?' He pulled the money out from under him and said 'Here is your f*cking money' before his eyes glazed over and he died."

Jooste was at Skietfontein Butchery in De Wild near Brits when two robbers attacked and robbed him.

On the day of the robbery, Jooste had fetched his mother, Liaze Jooste, 74, from their farm, Skietkraal, to draw money in Brits.

A gun stuck in his side

"I took my mom to the Skietfontein butcher at De Wild to pay her account. While I was sitting in the car, a man came to me and said my left-hand back tyre was going flat."

Jooste said he climbed out to see what was happening.

"As I looked at the tyre, two men came and stood on either side of me. Then the man on my right stuck a gun in my side.

"I was a sharp-shooter in the army, so I knew what to do. I pulled the two closer to me and we began wrestling.

"One of them put his hand in my right-hand trouser pocket and grabbed R4,000 out of my pocket, then ran around the vehicle."

Jooste reached for his firearm which was lying on the floor of the car and began shooting at the robbers.

Two men believed seriously injured

"One robber jumped into a car and I shot and broke the rear window. I think I probably seriously injured the two men sitting in the back of the car."

Jooste saw that the robber who had grabbed his money was running across the street.

"I first shouted at him and then shot, and he fell.

"I dragged him out of the road, as I was scared the cars would hit him? Some of the notes were covered in blood," he said.

Jooste suspects the men followed him from the bank because they knew exactly where to find the money in his trouser pocket.
